Thanks for the quick reply. So what you are saying is that regardless of loading conditions a material will always have the same poisson ratio? Also, the ratio of strains in a loading situation as above wouldn't be Poisson's ratio then, would it?

Hey. I have a couple of questions about Poisson's ratio I hope you guys can answer. If I have a cylinder made of, let's say steel. Steel has a Poisson's ratio of roughly 0.33. The cylinder is restrained in the vertical direction so no displacement can occur. If I apply an internal pressure...
